If you need more information about each step, please see the details below. The first thing you need to do is go to the Minecraft Forge download page, download it and get started.

Select Minecraft Forge Download

It is recommended to select the "Recommended" option on the Minecraft Forge download page. This option is more stable and has been well tested, which reduces the risk of errors and problems. Although the "Recent" option may work fine, it is less tested and may cause problems.

Once you've selected your desired option on the main Minecraft Forge download page, you'll likely get an ad page with a timer at the top. When the time is up, a big red "Skip" button will appear next to the "Create Forge Server" button. Click "Skip" to start the download.

You may receive a warning that the file may damage your computer , but if you download the official forge file from the official website, you can ignore that warning. However, if you download the file from another source, it is important that you do not do so, as it can be dangerous.

Download Java if you need it

If you already have Java installed on your computer, the Minecraft Forge download will have a Java icon and will automatically install when you double-click it.

In this case, you do not need to do anything else. If you do not have Java installed and your Forge download has a blank or broken icon, you must download and install Java before continuing. It is recommended to restart your computer after installing Java to make sure everything is configured correctly.

Once Java is installed, the Forge download should have an icon and you can click on it to install.

Select the installation of Forge in Minecraft

Once you have installed Minecraft Forge, you will be able to select it as an installation in the Minecraft Launcher. Open the Minecraft Launcher, select "Facilities" and you should see the "Minecraft Forge" option that you downloaded and installed.

Select it to start playing. If you select Minecraft Forge, you will be taken to a page with a button that says "Open mods folder" . This will open the folder where you will put the mods you want to play with. This is probably the fastest and easiest way to find the mods folder.

Note that Minecraft Forge on its own won't do anything , so you'll need to download and install mods to use it. You can check out our favorite Minecraft mods at the top of the page for some options that you can then download and install in your mods folder.
